Reading the Australian newspaper Monday there are two versions of West Side Story, one being performed on the open stage in Sydney Harbour.Mar 22 to Apr 21,
Watching the NRL games on Sunday TV, I would assume that most likely the open stage has been deferred or cancelled., due to the heavy rain,
quote from earlier
Set on the iconic over water on Sydney Harbour, the production will feature fireworks every night and a pop-up venue with comfortable grandstand seating. West Side Story on Sydney Harbour will run from March 22 to April 21. Tickets and more information are available at: Opera.org.au.

The other in theatre style starts in State Theatre Melbourne 6 Apr to 28 April. Then Sydney Opera House from 16 Aug to 5 Oct
Both shows produced by Opera Australia,.
Dayton is not shown in the cast for this second show.

Billy Elliot role a boon for young stars
Dayton Tavares was 12 and had been dancing for barely a year when he was chosen to star as the eponymous young ballet dancer in the Sydney run of hit musical Billy Elliot.

Bring it on The musical which has been trying out around Australia, is closing in Perth and with a Sydney season , then followed by Melbourne
Dayton Tavares plays a junior role and gets mentioned in all write ups.
Getting a good selection of roles in big musicals, not as big as when starring on Broadway in Billy Elliot yet but a name to remember
